I think it is sufficient if we host a (frozen) version of the main
repository (probably simply at tuxfamily). I think many forks don't have
changes, because they actually got merged.
And I don't think we need to host any of the forks, as long as we have
the changesets in the archived PRs.
I don't think all forks with changes have a related PRs, but forks exhibiting changes and that are associated to a close PR can probably be ignored too.
> ** Pull-Requests **
Does gitlab allow to map "[Bb]ug (\d+)" to (an archive of) our bugzilla
page and "\#(\d+)" to either the archived old PRs or new PRs/issues? (if
need be, we could manually create issues #1 to #7xx with just a link to
the archived PRs.
I haven't check that yet.
Did we actually plan to migrate bugzilla to gitlab-issues as well?
Would we do this by just creating new issues with a link to the
bz-archive? (This would be only slightly inconvenient if discussions are
split, but that's ok, IMO)
Almost everything is preserved including the bug's ID. We can also automatically mark the bz bugs as "MOVED" with a link to the respective gitlab entry.
I'll share the updated bz2gitlab migration script asap. My main concern about gitlab issues is that comments are not searchable, only the description is.

I agree that it won't be required that often (most "grafted from"
references are very close to each other anyway). If we have some tool
which can look-up hashes I think we are fine. (I won't prevent anyone
from trying to translate the hashes inside the history, of course *g*)
